This section allows you to view or disable the availability zones (or VPC subnets, if cloud is VPC)
and add or remove instances from a load balancer. You can add instances to a load balancer without enabling the zone,
but they will not receive traffic until the zone is enabled.
-
The ability to select Enable cross-zone load balancing is only present for a load balancer not on a VPC network.
This option evenly distributes traffic across all instances in all availability zones.
-
You can disable an availability zone (or a VPC subnet, if the cloud is VPC) from the (...) icon
in the upper-right corner of the box that represents it.
-
Select from the list of instances to specify between which instances to balance traffic.
You may use the Magic Search bar to narrow down the list of instances
by specifying the availability zone (or VPC subnet), security group, or
status.
Hover over the instances with out of service status for additonal details about those instances.
If present, hover over the warning icons (⚠) in the availability zones or subnets for additonal details about those instances.
Selecting an instance automatically adds that instance to the
availability zone or VPC subnet field above and the number of instances selected
is also reflected.
